Iffley Lock Oxfordshire

* When we visited Oxford we stayed in the village of Iffley it was a good choice it has a stunning Romanesque church and there are a number of historic buildings. It feels more like a village than a suburb of Oxford. Its possible to walk into Oxford along the banks of the River Thames it took us about 40 minutes from this Lock to walk into the centre of the city

 

 

Iffley Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England near the village of Iffley, Oxfordshire. It is on the southern outskirts of Oxford. The original lock was built by the Oxford-Burcot Commission in 1631 and the Thames Navigation Commission replaced this in 1793. The lock has a set of rollers to allow punts and rowing boats to be moved between the water levels.

In addition the lock and weir streams there is stream further to the east which used to be the Mill Stream.
